Pet care experience

Encouraging Positive Dog Trainer, graduate of Animal Behavior College and educated in Training Shelter dogs through them. I've been volunteering at the Humane Society of Yuma for the past three years with every range and breed of cat and dog that came through their doors, all handled with love and affection. I worked there for a year caring for them as a kennel technician and adoption councilor. I am very patient and enjoy working with these misunderstood and mislabeled companions. I appreciate the challenge of learning to communicate with different types of pets. They'll get the same attention as if they were mine and I can help socialize them if needed. I'm experienced and gentle enough to bottle feed kittens and puppies and strong enough to wrestle on all fours with the Pit Bulls, Mastiffs and King size dogs. I am a retired Marine and still able to get on base. Can’t wait to meet your pack.

Michael always takes such great care of our special needs dog! She has special dietary restrictions and a ton of skin problems due to allergies and we know that she's in good hands when Michael takes her for walks, does drop in visits, or house sits. He's also in tune to our dog's quirks when it comes to walks regarding whether or not she's up for a short walk, long walk, or if she just wants to play or hang out. We've been booking Michael for quite some time and our dog is very well-cared for.

Michael takes excellent care of Buddy, establishing a much-needed consistent schedule for my pup. He offers great insights and is working to help Buddy adjust to a new area, new animals, new everything. He doesn't push my shy and timid pup but lets him explore at his own pace. Michael is just what Buddy and I needed at this time. I couldn't ask for a person or arrangement to take care of Buddy.

I’ve known Michael for a little over year and he’s always had a great love and desire for dogs. He works very well With dogs and they respond very well with him . I guess the best compliment I could give Michael is that I would trust him with my own dog. I highly recommend Michael to be a dog walker, or sitter!!!

Michael T. is very good with dogs. He is nearing completion of training with Animal Behavior College and is doing a great job. As his mentor trainer, I would recommend Michael to care for your dog. He is a very caring and skilled man with animals.
